Telephone Wires - Smith & Thell

And telephone wires

Lead all way to you

But we don’t know how to talk, no

Though we got all the tools

They go over the rooftops

Into the jack in your room

And yet I’m still silent

I’m as silent as you

And telephone wires

They were made to keep friends

The people you silenced

In other ways than what’s meant

We speak the same language

But we don’t say the true words

And who let their guard down

Who let it down first?

And we stay in our castles

Protected by our homes

Say who loves the other

Enough to let them fall

The absence of you let go

The door slams in the heart

One day I’ll regret this

Regret I never called

Though I could write it down

There are papers and pens

They all are taken airplanes

But I never pretend

'Cause I’m getting colder

I’m getting older and lonelier

But my heart is clever, clever, clever, clever

It can’t hurt forever

And we stay in our castles

Protected by our homes

Say who loves the other

Enough to let them fall

The absence of you let go

The door slams in the heart

One day I’ll regret that

I, I pushed you away from me

But time makes you blurry

And I, I hope I’ll forget about you

That my heart is clever, clever, clever, clever

It can’t hurt forever, ever, ever, ever
